Thank Heaven for little girls.......What little girl doesn't love a pink room? Okay, there are one or two out there.....You don't have to be a great artist to paint a couple of bears on a wall...Nor do you have to spend alot of money on window treatments...some shocking pink ribbon and alot of tulle goes a long way...

The little girl for whom I did this room couldn't get enough of pink....Yet, as she gets older, she can just change out the wall color, as the furniture is cream....goes with anything.

I did children's portraits for years...I learned that it's best to be candid...too many parents would be coaching the poor kids, as in "sit up straight", say cheese (hate that one), and "smile"...

In fact, I encouraged parents not to tell the child they were getting their portrait taken until the day of the shoot..otherwise, they spend the evenin locked in the bathroom, practicing "the perfect smile"...Then, the parent wails "she never smiles like that".

Also, for the little ones, a bottle of liquid bubbles, and a few wands have saved the day on more than one occasion...

About Me

Some may notice I've recently changed this profile,simply because life changes...I've become a Texan through- and -through...living just outside of the wonderful city of Austin...Since moving here five years ago, I've become who I was before I left the South (having lived in Boston, Wisconsin, et al), where things are not as relaxed. I love it here.
I have always been involved in the arts..Interior Design, Photography, Photo Styling, Artist, Floral Designer, Gardener, writer...That's the ETC. in my business, and in my life...also, being a Gemini, I can happily move back-and-forth; for me, change is good...death is doing the same thing day in and day out....welcome to my world...
